Piracy Part 2: How to turn a negative into a positive

Well, today has taken an odd turn, that’s for sure. As you would expect, I got more emails from our offended individual. I’ll be posting our exchange shortly, but I’d like to recap what happened as a result of these e-mails: we have a new fan!

I told you it took an odd turn.

After the last post, I got another angry e-mail from graphicvandalism738 (whom we know now as Johnny Alpha), but this one sounded different than the rest. Both on advice from people I trust, as well as playing a hunch as to the real nature of the problem at hand, I decided to offer an olive branch and a way for Johnny Alpha to carry out his reviews of Torchbearer in a way that is beneficial to all of us.

And it is because of this we discovered that Johnny Alpha was not really a pirate: but a slightly overzealous fan, which we are A-OK with. 🙂

Without further ado, here is our last e-mail exchanges:

Now You resort To slander and false accusations?
